    Okay I'm not one to write reviews but this was actually just not good. The avocado felt like mush and everything tasted like it was thawed from frozen. Idk the place was mid.

    Specialty roll, falling apart after trying to pick it up.  Mango Mamma Roll Mango Mamma Roll

    Good food, great location. I just remembered that every roll i ate fell apart bc it wasn't sealed well.

    Happy hour. The good: super fast! My specialty cocktail was delicious and half price. The bad: I ordered a fish roll and it literally came out in one minute so I know it was pre-rolled and tasted at least a day old. The tempura was lightly battered and yet still greasy. The cucumber salad was one note vinegar. The server was quick and courteous. Happy hours are supposed to sell you on the food so you come back for dinner and I won't be doing that.

    Good food and service. The sushi is what you want it to be, fresh and delicious. Service was quick, friendly, and prompt with our food.

    Poor sushi for the price, better options elsewhere. Service was fine, drinks were fine. Not worth it

    I am writing this review to warn others after an experience my husband had last night. He here for…read moredinner and within hours became violently ill with severe food poisoning. He ordered several sushi rolls and nigiri (including tuna and salmon items). By the middle of the night he was experiencing intense stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, and dizziness. We ended up in the ER this morning because he was so dehydrated and weak. The doctor confirmed it was consistent with bacterial food poisoning, likely from improperly handled raw fish or cross-contamination. This is not something to take lightly. Food poisoning from sushi can be dangerous, especially for anyone with a compromised immune system, pregnant, elderly, or young children. If you value your health, I strongly recommend avoiding this place until they clean up their food safety practices. We will never return and are considering reporting this to the local health department. Please, learn from our mistake and steer clear. There are plenty of other sushi restaurants with better hygiene standards. Your family's health is not worth the risk.

    When you first walk in, the decor is really cute with the hanging umbrellas and cherry blossom…read moredecor. When we went, service was kinda mid. Maybe it was a rough day but our server was annoyed. They have a decent menu and their lunch specials are okay and reasonably priced. However the sushi was pretty mid. Each roll we ordered was wrapped in large amounts of rice with not a lot of fish. It's still quite expensive for what you get especially if you want unagi. Can't say we'll be back since we prefer Yonsei which is nearby but I can see why it's popular. This location does seem different than the one in Cherry Creek. The one in cherry creek seems like a higher quality selection of fish so possibly it's based on location.

    I was craving sushi and wanting something close to home when I found this place via a search on…read moreGoogle. It had high ratings so I read reviews which influenced what I ordered. I ordered the Red Dragon roll, the champion sashimi, and the Denver roll to go via online ordering through their website. The ordering process was not ideal for a first time customer because none of the items had descriptions so I was looking between their website and then the ordering platform. Once you order it gives you a time frame but I never got another notice when my order was actually ready which wasn't ideal. My order was correct and packaged very pretty for takeout. The Red Dragon roll was just okay. In my opinion, the tuna on top of it is sliced very thin, so it's not much of a show stopper especially for what they consider to be a special roll. It had a lot of rice. It was fine but I don't think I'd order it again because it wasn't memorable in my opinion. The champion sashimi was kinda spicy which I didn't expect but it was delicious. I would order more of this or something similar to this preparation next time. The Denver roll was refreshing. It's wrapped in cucumber and it comes with a special sauce. I liked it. It was pretty filling too. I could see myself ordering that again if I'm craving a lighter option. I'd order the champion sashimi again and try something new next time for my second option.

    Had an order of their teriyaki chicken with rice take out. Came with a choice of miso soup or…read moresalad. The chicken was good, not overly saturated with teriyaki sauce. Value was good. Friendly staff, not very busy. Seems like (not sure), maybe their business is mostly take out.
